The following is an outline of a sermon preached by Rev. J. E. Shackelford at Dakota street Metho- dist church on Sunday morning, Feb’y 10th, 1889. “The wag- es of sin is death,” Rom. —— The word séz is used in two different senses in the bible. They are en- tirely distinct and yet closely allied. 1st “Sin is the transgression of the law.” In this sense sin is a tary act. e volun- It may be both exter- nal and internal. The law of God thunders its tha not only against murder, but also against hate, which is murder inembryo. “He that bat- jeth his brother a murderer.” 2nd, That diseased or depraved ele- ment in the soul which results from the fall and which we bring with us into this world, is is also called sin. |'This is the séz of the world. which \ can ouly be taken away by the Lamb ,of God. It is that dwell eth in us.” It is sometimes called “the law of sin” or the principle of | sin that wa law of God and bri: gs us | ‘the sin ainst the in our hear into strategy : receeded in effecting | captivity by a force that cannot his arrest. be broken by the will. It is con | Knowing that Jud Peden was | trary to the law of God and beyond very fond of fox-Lunti learn- | the reach or power of the will. Tk isthe prime factor in that ruin of | our nature, from which the Sen of | God came to redeem us. It is in creased and intensified by the reflex \ action of voluntary sin. It is that mind which is enmity to} God not subject tothe law neither | indeed can be. erance from it. “carpal There is no deliy- but in its total struction by a divine operation upon the soul. Itis to this sin that St. Paul refers when he exclaimed, “Oh wretched man that I am who shall! deliver me from the body of this | death.” The word death has three dif- ferent significations in the scriptures. Ist. Temporal Death. “The sting of death is sin.” Temporal death is the king of terrors, because it car- ries in its bosom this dreadful sting, sen. Death has no terror to the | soul which has been delivered from sin. “Death is swallowed up in vic- tory,” when its sting has been ex-| tracted. 2nd, spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God by} sin. “To be carnally minded is death.” “Dead in trespasses and in sins,” is the condition of every soul in the life of God has not been supplanted by regeneration. “To be spiritvally minded is life and peace.” 3rd, eternal death. “This is the second death” and is the eter- nal separation of the soul from God and from everything which can make natural life tolerable. The rich manin hell not only found a great gulf fixed between himself and God, but he was excluded from even ; a “drop of water” to cool his tongue. Eternal separation from God and all good was his doom. The cup of misery was unmixed. Hope forever excluded. Zs 7s hell. Its hor- rors cannot be exaggerated. No lost soul will ever accuse Jesus ; Christ or his Ministers of exagger- ating the eternal horrors that hang around the second death. III. Wages. This is the link which the apostle tells us binds sin and death together. No power in| heaven or on earth can break this link but the power of God. Death is the wages of sin. The soul that serves sin will receive its wages. This word, as here used, is of deep | and fearful import. Ist, It involves theidea of /aSor. The service of | sin is a hard service. Sin isa severe | and inexorable task-master. ~The way of the transgressor is hard.” | “There is no peace to the wicked | saith my God, his heart is as the | | troubled ocean casting up mire and i dirt.” That sorrowful wail of the heart from which God driven. All is vanity yand vexation of spir fat" de- | is cannot be suppressed by the 2nd. The | wages also involves the idea of de | pleasures of sense. word sert. The labourer deser his ;j wages.
